The World’s Top Cruise Conference Is Coming to Miami Beach 

By: Alexander Britell - March 17, 2025 - 10:24 pm

Cruise lines. Cruise ports. Construction companies. Destinations. Tech providers. Governments. If you’re in the cruise industry, there’s nothing quite like Seatrade, the world’s top cruise gathering that’s coming once again to Miami Beach next month. 

This year’s Seatrade will run from April 7-10 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, building on an event that saw 11,000-plus attendees last year and more than 600 exhibitors from some 120 countries, 

This year’s event will cover everything from new design trends to the growth of small-ship ultra luxe ships to the overall state of the industry. 

The latter will be headlined by top executives from MSC, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. 

Seatrade is a particularly important event for the cruise industry in the Caribbean, which remains the world’s top cruise destination. Accordingly, you can find delegations from just about every major tourism and cruise destination at the show. 

In a cool inclusion, this year will also see the F&B@Sea conference, a deep dive into the food and beverage industry at sea. 

For more on how to attend, visit Seatrade.
